Pulis hits out at referees AGAIN as Taylor set to be in charge of Stoke vs Chelsea

The Hawthorns boss blasted the decision to hand Anthony Taylor control of tomorrow's Stoke v Chelsea clash after his display in the West Brom v Leicester game last week.

And Pulis has also hit out after referees' bosses failed to respond to his criticism of Taylor.

Pulis was punished by the FA on Thursday after admitting a misconduct charge for confronting Taylor in the tunnel after his side's 3-2 defeat.

But yesterday morning the Welshman was fuming that Taylor had been handed today's highest-profile game after both he and ref boss Mike Riley failed to provide any feedback over last week's display.

Pulis was furious his side were denied two penalties while a goal by Foxes midfielder Riyad Mahrez appeared offside.

"I got the fine and the club got punished because we dropped points because of those decisions and then you see Anthony Taylor has got one of the top games this weekend," said Pulis.

"I have got to take the blame for waiting for Anthony Taylor after the game.

FURIOUS: Pulis hit out at Taylor once again today

“We've had no feedback whatsoever about what the referee feels or thinks about those decisions”

"What is disappointing, though, is the fact we sent in a response and I've tried to get hold of Mike Riley who is in Japan.

"Mike has tried to send me a message back and we've not been able to get hold of each other.

"We've had no feedback whatsoever about what the referee feels or thinks about those decisions."

The Dutchman is getting the kind of criticism of his playing style that the West Brom boss is used to.

Pulis said: "That's the way life is now. He is expected to win every game and he has to win with some style.

"He knows that. He has gone in there knowing it's not just winning, they have to win with style.

"Sir Alex (Ferguson) did that for a long time, David (Moyes) unfortunately wasn't given the time to do what he wanted to do but I think they'll stick with Louis and give him the opportunity and time to get it right."
